I am super excited to announce my latest achievement!

Last week, I was awarded my second Fellowship with the BIPP, where I presented my Encaustic range in the ‘Visual Arts’ category. It was titled ‘Equus Freedom’, which accurately describes the way I feel when creating these pieces.

This collection was inspired by ancient cave art I was lucky enough to see on my travels to the Australian Outback as a teenager. It is really special to me- it’s been a real landmark in my transition into experimenting with mixed media.

Check out the collection below…

 

 

 

 

These prints are the perfect Christmas gift for any horsey friend or family member.

16 x 16 ” print- £125

Wow! What a whirlwind of a week!

 

Last week, I was honoured to decorate the VIP members tent at The New Forest and Hampshire County Show. I printed and framed lots of images from various series, including The Flower Horse, The Shadow Horse and my Encaustic range. All my work went down a treat- it was so humbling to hear such positive feedback about my work.

 

Whilst setting up on the first day, I was a little worried as the wind was really starting to pick up… the frames were  hanging on the sides of this gigantic marquee and to say they were swinging in the wind is an understatement! Luckily, my handy man Nick did an amazing job securing everything… I just had images in my head of frames flying all over the place!

 

 

 

 

 

What a beautiful place, though. Arriving first thing in the morning before the gates opened to the public was really special… the hustle and bustle of traders putting the finishing touches on their stands and the quiet of the enormous show rings made me feel very much at home! I spent years as a young equine portrait photographer on trade stands at shows like this one, nervous and expectant for the week ahead. This year was far more relaxing for me and way less nerve-racking!

 

 

 

I was up at the crack of dawn every day, getting to the show ground for about 7am and not leaving until 7pm most nights! So although totally shattering,  I had the best time and met some amazing and interesting people. It also allowed me to network with some really great contacts…discussing some exciting new ideas and projects!

 

 

….And what a view from the office, hey! I was so lucky to be able to do my absolute favourite thing and watch horses all day long! A horse lover’s absolute dream!

 

It’s scary to say, but Christmas will be just around the corner very soon! Time to start thinking about gifts for your horse and art-loving friends and family.

I’ve put together a handy list of the top-selling and most popular prints from my collections that you can get your hands on for under £500. All my images are Limited editions, and with prices ranging from £125, you’d be silly not to take a peek!

 

 

10: The Shadow Horse-126

One of my most popular pieces from the Shadow Horse collection. This sits perfectly above the fireplace in my own living room at home! £295 (12 inch print).

 

 

9: Horses in water- Camargue

This timeless image is so powerful. It fits in any modern space or cosy country cottage- a real centrepiece to any room. £495 (16 inch print).

 

 

8: Flower Horse-173

A piece from my latest collection, the Flower Horse. Something a little different and appreciated equally by any horse and flower-lover. £495 (16 inch print).

 

 

7: Encaustic- 087

The process behind creating enaustic art is fascinating as it really changes an image. This original image did was not strong enough to stand alone, but the effect is amazing and it speaks volumes.  There’s something very dreamy about this image. £295 (12 inch print).

 

 

6: Rearing Horse- California

Perhaps one of my most classic shots, the Rearing Horse. This was taken in California in 2014. A moment of seeming-calm before this stallion pranced back into a powerful gallop. You can really feel his power through this image… perhaps the ideal gift for someone who needs empowering! £495 (16 inch print).

 

 

5: Flower Horse- 178

The second piece from my Flower Horse series. This horse seems as if he is almost floating as the foliage trails out behind him. This image sits beautifully on its own, or with the rest of the series. £295 (12 inch print).

 

 

4: Shadow Horse- 127

Simple, yet elegant. This minimalist work from the Shadow Horse collection suits any space to bring tranquillity and calm. £295 (12 inch print).

 

 

3: Horses in Wild- Camargue

This is another of my more popular collection, the Camargue… I love this image, it somehow feels very calm, even with the madness of the situation. Add this to yours or start a friend’s collection for £495 (16 inch print).

 

 

2: Student of the Horse- 157

This is a timeless classic, shot at the Student of the Horse. This always elicits a deep connection with those who purchase it. £295 (12 inch print).

 

 

1: A series of mini framed prints
